The apartment is good and was clean. Location is also good. Although it's mentioned as a 1 bedroom apartment it's more of a studio converted into a 1 bedroom. So it might be good for couples but might feel smaller for a family. Expect no Toiletries and bring your own. There wasn't even handwash. There was one bodywash in the shower but sadly that too was watered down. No papertowels in the kitchen either and there were toiletpaper rolls instead. Even the dining table had a toilet paper roll instead of napkins!
Also the building has legal notices everywhere stating short term rentals are illegal which made me very uncomfortable.
Although I didn't have any complaints with the apartment itself but there are certain things I want all my fellow travelers to know before booking this Airbnb.I have traveled all over US and stayed in multiple Airbnbs and hence I have a fair comparison of how this works.
This is by far the worst interaction I have had with any host! Very unprofessional! So this is what happened. I booked the Airbnb for 2 nights but I accidentally picked 1 guest( Not realizing that I did that and if it would make a difference in the total) and then informed the host "Tony" that there will be 3 guests. Tony even asked for the details including our passport numbers ( Which was also weird but he said it's according to immigration laws. Although I booked another Airbnb in Phuket in the same trip and the host never asked for those details). I was hesitant but I provided the details for 3 guests atleast 10 days in advance. Then my brother also decided to join us for one night. So I informed Tony again that he will have the 4th guest for one night and even shared his name and passport numbers. This was also 2 days in advance. Tony acknowledged it.
When I reached the apartment I realized that there are only 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels. I checked the apartment and there were no extras anywhere. So I requested Tony for extra Towels. The moment I said that, Tony started arguing that he will charge me extra since there are extra guests. And started accusing me that I paid only for guest, despite of the fact that I made him aware that there will be 4 guests well ahead of time. Not only was he rude but also accused me of lying, being irresponsible and threatened me saying there are CCTV cameras everywhere. He initially charged me for extra guests for both the nights, despite me telling that they will be here only for one night and I had to even offer to share the flight tickets to make him believe me. Eventually he agreed and charged me extra for one night.
Despite me paying the extra charge no extra Towels or anything was delivered. I will not come back again and will not recommend it to my friends or family.
